Busy, bustling weeks behind and busy, bustling weeks ahead &#8211; so when we got to our getaway house in the redwoods this weekend we were relived to find rain forecast for the entire weekend! Nothing to do but sit by the wood stove read, draw, listen to music, eat, chat, draw some more. A basic blogging theme of mine is how time flies and leaves me reeling muttering, \u201cHow can it already be <em>(fill in the month)<\/em> 1<sup>st<\/sup>?\u201d So here I am again but today I feel renewed and recharged. Three days of staying in jammies till noon drinking coffee and eating a yummy breakfast were the only things on the to-do list. We turned on our favorite pod-casts and stretched out in the living room watching the rain through the redwoods. Time slowed &#8211; even with the constant ticking of my grandma\u2019s cuckoo clock and the yellow bird reminded us with an resolute \u201ccoo-coo, coo-coo, coo-coo\u201d how crazy we are to worry about time and industry, and that sometimes there is nothing more important that watching the light and the rain pass by the window, nothing more pressing than turning on kettle for a cup of tea and listing to the tick of the clock, the drip of the rain and creak of the wood stove. Here\u2019s hoping you find some ways to turn down time to a low simmer in the coming weeks of busy and bustle &#8211; make time to slow time.<\/p>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t for get you can mark time for 2015 with my art calendar here is a link <a href=\"2015%20CALENDAR\">2015 CALENDAR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve had a busy couple of weeks &#8211;
